I read many of the guru blogs.

Why would I do that?

There are a couple of reasons, first many of them are great for a good laugh or two as they breathlessly proclaim their latest invention/discovery/creation of a technique that will make you instantly rich, better looking and sexually satisfied while you sit and do nothing. As an aside, notice how the guru types hype passiveness? Almost like watching television? Now why do you suppose that is the case?

Anyway, back to my point. They are good for a laugh or two.

Another reason I read their blogs is because by aggregating multiple gurus you can determine the “trend” the gurus are taking. Make no mistake, the guru business is more incestuous and closer knit than just about any other you can imagine. The gurus now have their own conferences on how to be a better guru. No, they don’t call them that but when the sole purpose of conference is to discuss and show ways to increase conversions in an email marketing campaign for infopreneurs, well, I think you get the idea.

I am always adding the list of gurus I read and research regularly. If you have a guru’s blog you’d like to suggest I add to my list of regular offenders, please either leave it in the comments below or through the contact link on the menu at the top of this page.

Also, listen to The AntiGuru Radio podcast later today to hear the latest thing that has the gurus all a-twitter. Yeah, that was a bad pun, but listen and hopefully it will make sense.
